9/3/08 - Little Toddler

Amanda is a toddler now, in every sense of the word.  At home she pretty much walks all the time now, though she still crawls when we go out or the surface is uneven.  When Daddy comes home, she breaks into a huge smile and lifts her arms up to greet him, calling “Da, Da, Da!”  When she wants me, she says, “Ma, Ma, Ma”, and she recently learned to wave and say “bye-bye!”  

 

Eva notices when we gush over something cute that Amanda does, and will occasionally start imitating her baby antics when she wants attention.   Whenever I get out the video camera, Eva wants me to turn the little screen around so she can see herself.  In most of our recent home videos, you can hear Eva calling “I want to see Eva!  I want to see Eva!” in the background.   She recently outgrew her car seat, so we had to upgrade her to a booster seat with a 5-point harness.  What a big girl!
